Did anyone attend the Outreach workshop? I had registered but could not make it.


Was there a chance to clarify our qtns with the Principal ??

Hah - my child did not even get an invitation for that workshop.

harini:

If you read the comments on SST website in ther shoutbox - many ppl have voiced similar concerns. I am not sure what was their criteria to choose students and no disrespect to those who got chosen.

I am sure there will b many who dont take up the CO as well and so if ur son is very keen on SST, I personally think being on WL he has a good chance

My son has received a confirmed offer from SST. He is very excited about the school. However, because it is such a new school, I too have some reservations. I don't know how serious are those people in the shoutbox. Have to take everything they say with a huge lump of salt, I guess. We didn't try to DSA any other school because it is really stressful. Was actually hoping that he would gain admission into a good school with his PSLE results. We were actually eyeing Victoria until SST came into the picture.

Will your son be accepting SST? Any other comments would be helpful.

Yes. He has a confirmed offer.

Yes. He has a confirmed offer.

Congrats!! It's strange that you did not receive the invite to the workshop.

To harini and carebear - Let's hope that your kids will not be discouraged by being on the waitlist. This will most likely spur them to do their best during the PSLE. Like what the others have said, there will be those who will not accept the offer. Hopefully, they will get another chance to get into SST since they are so excited about the school.

Good luck to all P6s.

Thanks Kuzco. We are trying our best and hoping and praying he will do well . Good luck to all other P6s and their parents too ...

My son got a confirmed offer. But I don’t know if that school is the right school to go. It seems to new as there is no gurantee that it will produce good students with good O Level results. What’s more is that there is no applied subjects at JC level. Where does that leave the students? If there Is a IP programme, then the students will go straight to University taking applied subjects. It sounds promising I must say though.

Hi. My son was also aiming for victoria and ACS(I). I seriously don't know this is the school for my child. It takes in the top 30% of the cohort, so that means they take in students who would get 240-260 in thr PSLE? Will sst be as succesful as NUSHS? My son is excited at first, but after thinking about it, he does not know what to do.

Hi lalala,


Just browse the sst website, and is quite alarmed that they’ve listed only 5 teachers under the acad. staff section. Perhaps, they’re still recruiting but would they be ready by Jan? Perhaps you should re-visit the school or give them a call.

Another factor in deciding which school is actually distance. Many parents/kids, forget to take that into consideration and the poor child ended up having to travel long distances for 4-6 years. If yr child can read /nap on the train/bus, then they could at least spend some productive time during commute. However, if like mine, even a car ride, makes him giddy, it would be better off to choose a school nearer. So even though the school my son has chosen is perceived as stressful, he is very certain he wants to go there rather than one much further away as, in his own words, with the time saved in travelling, he can spend it more productively on his studies.

VS is in the east and SST in the west, whereabouts are you?

The end-point is 'O' levels for SST. Really do not want poor 'O' level results after all the fun and enjoyment. NUSH has their own assessment and has the endorsement of NUSAt least you know where the kids will go.
